7 hr float rating eh.... well like you were saying some companies will do it for you after you've worked the dock for a bit.
Oh and "Borek and other companies," I hope you don't have you heart too dead set on getting on with a company like Borek with out many hours logged in the bush.
Well this might be difficult to do, but I suggest just gritting your teeth and doing it. You're flying a 172, which is capable of recovering from a spin on its own. So go up with an instructor, who is obviously confident in recovering from spins and let them demonstrate a few spins to you, and let t...
Well obviously they would have some sort of process you have to go through, but it would make sense for it to act as a passport as well. Since many pilots fly all over the world I think it would kill two birds with one stone. I wouldn't completely shut out the idea. Just a thought, christ some peopl...
The new licenses look almost the exact same as a passport, do you know if they will be considered a substitute for a passport? I haven't bothered to get a passport and if I can just wait for the new pilots license if it serves the same purpose then I'd much rather do that. If anyone know's lemme kno...
Well I think a road trip is a good idea. I did a trip last year during April, probably during the 1st or 2nd week of it and I ended up getting a job. Here are the circumstances; I knew the company was looking for a dock worker, I knew that people had graduated from the dock to the 180 in previous ye...
I don't see a problem with doing other jobs, I think it's to be expected when you're doing camp runs. If you have the know-how to fix something and you're there, then do it, it saves the company a lot of money. I wouldn't be too excited about doing dishes though, to me that sounds like something you...
you may not fly 8 hours/day, but when you're sitting around the base or doing the extra odds jobs you're still working. And after it's all said and done your primary job title is still a pilot. So $16/hr it is.
I was just recently contacted by my friends dad and he wants me to fly from Muskoka to Ottawa to pick up my friend when he finishes college and fly back. What I'm wondering is where to rent a plane from? I'm from Huntsville so places such as Muskoka Airport and Parry Sound I know of, however I'm won...
Okay... I wouldn't worry about that other stuff until you're nearing completion of your CPL. If you want to save money, get some applications into Sault College and Confederation College. My recommendation is Con College, good people, 1 less year and a lot of fun. And you save $$$ big time, although...
I would recommend doing that 100%. Just be sure that you pick the right company to work for. Don't go doing that for someone who has a Beaver as the smallest plane for example, because you won't be able to fly that as a starter. Best bet is to find a company with a privately registered 180, work the...
Well I think rather than asking why we use 22.8, instead we should ask, why doesn't ANYONE flying in NWO or Red Lake especially use it? I think if you're going to be flying in these areas you should use 22.8 regardless of what you're SUPPOSED to do because it's just that much more safe. That might ...

Rowdy, I'm just curious where you're working. Seems lots of people this season who started on the dock are getting some pretty decent time in, which is nice to hear.
